Kink's Big Sister

Shortly after the release of my Kink neckwarmer in Knitty (First Fall 2010), I dove headfirst into a delightful sock-yarn, mini-shawl obsession. There's something incredibly beautiful and indulgent about sock yarn—plus, it’s efficient since a single 100g skein is usually enough for a lovely little shawl. However, I faced a recurring frustration: more than once, I ran out of yarn just before completing my shawl. After yet another frantic search for just 3 yards of yarn to finish binding off (thank you, Sandy Griffin, for saving the day!), I decided enough was enough. I yearned for a shawl pattern that would allow me to use an entire skein of yarn without running into the dreaded shortage at the end. Realizing that my Kink neckwarmer pattern could be easily adapted, I made some thoughtful adjustments and was thrilled with the results. The outcome? A sock yarn shawl pattern that ensures you won’t be left hanging at the end of your skein! This unique design not only showcases gorgeous sock yarns but also provides an enjoyable knitting experience from start to finish. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern will satisfy your cravings for a beautiful, complete project. Perfect for gift-giving or adding to your own collection, this project is a must-try for any knitting enthusiast!
